The name, The Cosby Show, often reminds us of Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad who were the central characters of this show revolving around the African American Huxtable family. But this show proved to be a mile stone in the careers of many African American actors who were unknown when they started off with this show but were at the pinnacle of popularity by the time this show rounded up.

Raven Symone is one such actress. She started her career in acting with The Cosby Show at the age of three. She portrayed the character of Olivia Kendall and remained with the show for eight years, till 1992. Working along with great actors like Bill Cosby and Rashad besides Sabrina Le Beauf groomed her into a fine actress. When her own show named ‘That’s so Raven’ where she played a teen clairvoyant, came up for airing, it proved to be such a huge success that it established her as an talented actress for good.

The show centered on an upper-middle class African-American family residing in Brooklyn Heights, New York. Though basically a comedy, the show at times also discussed grave topics like, Theo’s struggle with dyslexia. Actually, Cosby’s child Ennis also suffered from dyslexic and it inspired him to deal with the issue on the show.

Even though the show revolved around an African-American family, the racial issues were rarely if ever mentioned on the show. This was really unusual when you compare it with other shows like The Jeffersons. But it does not mean that The Cosby Show remained aloof from all that was happening around because it frequently endorsed African-American and African culture through artists and musicians such as Jacob Lawrence, Miles Davis, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Lena Horne, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie and Miriam Makeba.
